NEGKTIE.

Application filed January 26,

This invention relates to neckties, the invention having more particular reference to ready made ties.

The invention has for an object to provide a novel form of attaching means for ready made tie, that will facilitate the attachment and removal of the tie, while at the same time serving to hold the tie properly positioned on the collar.

For further comprehension of the invention, and ot the objects and advantages thereot, reference will be had to the tollowing description and accon'ipanying drawinn. and to the appended claim in which the various novel, features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

Fig. 1 of the drawing is a face View showing my in'iproved tie as in place on a collar, the latter being shown in dot and dash lines.

Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional view show ing :1 modified form of the collar.

Fig. 8 is a fragmentary rear View oi. a tie showin a further modification.

Fig. t is a vertical sectional View oi. the tie shown in Fig. 3.

lily improved tie is constructed to have the appearance of a tour in hand tie, consisting ol? the upper element 10 and the depending ends 11. which may be formed in any suitable manner and ti om any suitable material. To the back of this top portion 1.0 of the tie I attach an improved means for mounting the tie on the collar. As shown in Fig. 1 a band 12 of cloth or like material is passed through a suitable slot or slit formed in the said back portion oi. the element 10. This band 12 is of a length so that the ends thereof will be adequately covered by the wiry 'llof the collar, and is provided at opposite ends with hooks 15. To facilitate fastening of the tie in place on the collar the tie they be secure l to the band 12 nearer one end than the other, the short. end of the band being secured last in place. To secure the band in place I provide holes 18 in the inner told 19 of the collar, into which the hooks 1925. Serial No. 4,653.

engage. The tie, when in place, is held properly positioned, and has all the appean ance of an accurately made four in hand tie, while it is both cheaper to construct and 5 more readily attached.

Instead of providing hooks on the end of the band l2 1 n'iay form the end of the latter with lnittonholes and attach buttons 20 on the inner told 19 of tne collar, as shown in F5 2 or the drawing.

n the form of the invention shown in E5 and l: the band 12' has a central rt of relatively stiti and unyielding elastic n'iaterial that engages in the slit in the back of the tie.

lhnbedded in this insert, and extending from side to side thereof, are wires QiS that have outturned ends 27 projecting; from opposite sides of the insert. The e wires are spaced from one another a distance equal to the width ot' the back loop in the tie proper formed by the slot that receives the tie hand, so that when the band is in place it is secured to the tie, to prevent longitudinal slipping thereof, by means of the ends of the Wires 2?. The tie band being also provided with pointed pins or spikes engaging the rear pertion 28 of the tie.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters latent oi the United States is as follor-rs:

The combination. in a necktie having a knot element ant. provided with slits in the back portion there ot' a supporting band provided with a central insert of stiff material, passing; thron -l1 said slits and being formed a plurality of projecting pointed pins engr ng said back portion to hold the tie in position on said band, supplemented by wires embedded in said central insert, and having out-turned extended ends to abut against the outer edges of the back loop Iiol'll'letl by the said slit.

In testimony whereof I have attired my si nature.
